✨🌌 An Out-of-This-World Experience! 🌌✨ Our FHSA 3rd graders were treated to an incredible experience this week with a visit from The Arkansas SkyDome Portable Planetarium and Space Science Museum, one of the largest and most advanced digital portable planetarium systems in the region! Inside the giant dome, our students embarked on an unforgettable journey through the cosmos. They explored rare NASA memorabilia, examined astronaut autographs dating back to Project Mercury, and discovered rocket models, global soil samples, minerals, meteorites, fossils, and so much more. It was an inspiring, hands-on adventure that brought space science to life! 🚀🌠

FHSA 5th grade science made a model to explain how water cycles from the weather’s surface to the atmosphere and back again. By testing different temperatures for the “ocean” and “sky,” we observed evaporation and condensation, making “rain!”
